- A group of violent kidnappers capture Robert Dunbrook's son just before he is scheduled to testify to a grand jury against his father, and the CSI team is rocked by a tragedy.
- Flack drives by 3 individuals in a car, and Terrence Davis, a police informant, gets in. They talk, and Flack has one last job for him. Flack gets a call from Detective Angell, and they talk about arranging dinner. Out of nowhere, A truck drives through the entrance of the restaurant where Angell is guarding Robert Dunbrook's son during a prison transfer. Flack hears this on the cell phone, along with the ensuing shootout, and he immediately rushes to the restaurant. He finds Angel on the ground, shot and bleeding badly. She is rushed to the hospital with Flack by her side.
Robert Dunbrook arrives, and tries to get Mac's cooperation, but it doesn't come easy given their previous history. His son was going to testify against him in court, so immediately he is a suspect with motive. During the investigation, Angell dies in the hospital.
Mac gives a talk to the team (sans Flack) and other officers at the crime scene, and vows that when a member of the NYPD is killed, they will stop at nothing to find the killer. Adam places a GPS device on the bottom of Dunbrook's car, and is almost caught in the process. Eventually they track him to a warehouse, where he is overheard via the GPS device, negotiating with the kidnappers. A gun is heard being cocked, and Mac, Danny and Flack (who are monitoring the device nearby), jump into action. They are shot at by a sniper, and after a few minutes of trading rounds, finally get into the warehouse.
Dunbrook is there, and the kidnappers drive off. "You just killed my son!!" he says. Dunbrook now believes his son is dead, but Mac doesn't think so, saying it would be foolish for the kidnappers to kill him, that it would negate what they are trying to accomplish in the first place.
Dunbar and Mac watch a video made by the kidnappers, showing Dunbrook's son reading a ransom note. Dunbrook believes the video doesn't help identify anything useful, but Mac knows otherwise. At the end of the video, a kidnapper reaches to cover the lens and turn off the camera. Mac and Hawkes are able to freeze the video while he does so, and a shot of one of his fingertips is enhanced to make out a print. They run it though the system, and are able to make a match in the system. A suspect is found.
The team finds the Humvee, and find a bullet round stuck in the window. Mac noted it should have penetrated the window, and shortly the team discovers that the Humvee is actually bulletproof, even the tires. The driver left blood on the seat, and a hair on the pedal, which Hawkes later determines is from a bat.
Terrence and Flack cross paths with each other again in the streets, and Terrence has information that leads the team to a customizing garage. It was there the Humvee was given the "presidential treatment". The individual they question recognizes the suspect in the picture shown to him as one of the occupants of the Humvee. Eventually they track down the suspect's hideout, and enter with force.
A shootout ensues between the team, SWAT and the suspects. Dunbrook's son is found and is brought out of the building. Flack finds a suspect laying on the ground downstairs. He has a patch over his shoulder where Angell shot him. He reaches for a gun next to him, the same kind of gun used to shoot Angell. Flack kicks it away, and lifts his gun, pointing at the suspects head. His face wells with emotion and anger. He pulls the trigger once.
Back at headquarters, the team has headed out for drinks after a long day. Stella and Mac exchange conversation and a friendly hug. Stella then asks Mac if he is coming out with the team, to which he says that he'll be along shortly. Mr Dunbrook appears, giving Mac a newspaper with Angell's picture, and a headline honoring her. Mr Dunbrook says that even though his son is going to testify against him, he still loves him. On the way out, he tells Mac to "be safe".
The team is in a bar, having drinks. Mac shows up just as a toast is about to be made to honor Angell. A car comes slowly around the front. A back window opens. An automatic weapon is fired into the bar, and the windows are shot out. The team members all duck.
To be continued.
